Sukhumvit Sleepless Nights?
So, I'm heading to Bangkok next month and booked a stay at Sukhumvit Backpacker. Heard it's a crazy place, buzzing with people all night. My question is...how do you actually *sleep* there? I'm not e… more
Earplugs, my friend. Seriously, good earplugs are your best bet. Those foam ones? Forget 'em. Get some decent silicone ones, maybe even some noise-canceling headphones if you're really sensitive.
